Date: Norman Rockwell Exhibit

A few weeks ago, El-ahrairah and I got to visit the Norman Rockwell exhibit at BYU's Museum of Art! It was really interesting to see how the artist's paintings changed over time. He lived during some really interesting decades of American history.

I loved this quote on one of the plaques in the exhibit: "Though not religious himself, Rockwell strongly supported traditional religious values and advocated tolerance of different religions and creeds." That's become a complicated issue these days, but I guess it's always been so.

I wonder what Rockwell would think of America if he could come back alive to visit.
